** WiS 1912-12: "Mr. Thos. Black has returned from an extended trip to the Canadian Northwest. He says that most of the Assemblies are nice and hearty going forward in Gospel testimony. The country is young and there is much need of pioneering; blazing out the way so to speak. Young men willing-hearted and clean in life, and not above sleeping occasionally in the humble Sod-house of the prairie farmer will find plenty of opportunities of witnessing for and preaching Christ. Gentleman preachers able to the meeting Sunday night and sit down or loaf around during the week are not wanted there."
